- A large or small Assisi Loop can be used to speed healing of a bone fracture. Positioning is extremely important for optimal effect.
- Small Assisi Loops can be used for up to Beagle-sized pets when treating a bone in a leg. It is easier to treat larger pets with the larger Assisi Loop for this positioning or if treating a fracture of a bone in the body or skull.
- Position the pet lying down either flat on the ground if a forelimb, body, or skull bone is affected, or up on their elbows with their rear limbs out to one side if a rear limb bone is affected.
- Identify the fracture site and place Assisi Loop with its center over the fracture site.
- If the fracture repair surgery includes a plate, maximum affect will occur if the Assisi Loop is placed on the opposite side of the limb or body area as metal can affect the signal. Place the Assisi Loop on the opposite side of the body as the sutures.
- The signal generator should be located in view of the person treating the pet.
- Do not leave the pet unattended when using this placement as small movements can change the positioning of the Loop and the area being treated.
- Turn the unit on by pressing the button on the front of the white rubberized signal generator; green lights will illuminate about once per second.
- Keep the unit in place for the full 15 minutes until the unit shuts off.
- Use the unit 4 times daily, if possible, for 5 days and then twice daily for an additional 5-15 days or until symptoms resolve to speed healing and improve strength of the bone as it heals. The Assisi Loop can be used once or twice daily if any discomfort or inflammation return, at any point, to this location.
- There should be a minimum of 2 hours between treatments for optimal nitric oxide enhancement.
